This is a Tsume-tsuzure Nagoya obi with 'Kiku'(chrysanthemum) and 'Ayame'(sweet flag) on 'kikko' (tortoise shell) design, which is woven. Textile is exquisite thick silk and has smooth touch. It also has "HATSURIKOU" (small gap in the boundaries of colors), which is the distinctive feature of Tsume tsuzure weave. 'Maegara' (front patterned part) is on one side.When you start wrapping the obi from your left tummy to right(Rotate obi clockwise), Maegara will show.

One threads by one threads, it was woven elaborately with nails, and it had to be taken incredibly long time to be completed.

Although not shown on the photo and figure, it has some linear blackish smudges on otaiko(square bow), and they will be bothering when tied.The folding lines remain to the upper otaiko(square bow).It has some other flaws such as slight discoloration. For the details, please refer to the photos and the sheet.

However, it is in very good conditions as a whole. It can be worn at formal occasions to casual outings by matching suitable obis.
